Chapter 5. Creating Firmware
On the previous chapter, we explained how to make and compile application program with sample
program. This chapter introduces methods to create a firmware which permanently saves the
application into the Eddy module and apply it to hardware of Eddy.
5.1 How to Create a Firmware
Firmware image can be created on filesystem_2.1.x.x/ramdisk folder.
Modify ‚Makefile‛ on filesystem_2.1.x.x/ramdisk directory to create a firmware image.
Version info, required Ramdisk amount and desired application to copy can be set up on the
‚Makefile‛.
(NOTE)
Provided DK Sources are Linux based. Some commands are not executable on Windows
environment. To prevent this problem, a suffix, ‚exe‛, has to be added for some utilities
after file name as shown below.
../tool/genext2fs  ../tool/genext2fs .exe
../tool/mkimage  ../tool/mkimage .exe
IMAGE=ramdisk
FW_NAME =
eddy-fs-2.1.x.x.bin  Name and Version Info of Firmware
Image
FIRMWARE_DIR = ../firmware
 Directory to store created firmware
install:
#@echo "Making ramdisk image..."
#$(TOOL) -b 8192 -d root -D device_table.txt ramdisk
#../tool/genext2fs -U -b 5110 -d root -D device_table.txt ramdisk
#../tool/genext2fs -U -b 7158 -d root -D device_table.txt ramdisk
#../tool/mkcramfs -q -D device_table.txt root ramdisk
./tool/genext2fs.exe -U -b 10240 -N 1024 -d root -D device_table.txt ramdisk  Make
size of Ramdisk to 10,240 K and register the device of Eddy/dev as indicated on
Devide_table.txt.
gzip -vf9 ramdisk
est -f ramdisk.gz
./tool/mkimage.exe -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 -n $(FW_NAME) -
d ./ramdisk.gz
$(FW_NAME)
test -f $(FW_NAME)
